Some time ago I decided to get some basic waterproof makeup. After all, ski season and blizzard are coming soon haha. And as I read only good reviews about Essence waterproof eyeliner I decided to buy it and with it I also bought waterproof mascara All Eyes On Me. I had great experiences with their waterproof mascaras before, so I wanted to give this one a chance.

Mascara comes in a small packaging but it contains 8ml. The price is 269 RSD. Brush is a classic one and rather small, just the way I like. I'm not a big fan of rubber brushes. The formula is rare and it seems to me that it contains a few eyelash extension fibres. Since the formula is rare it is easy to apply, and since the brush doesn't pick up too much mascara lashes don't stick together.

This mascara is easily removed with any makeup remover. It slightly desolves but it also crumbels a little when removed, but it is not necessary to rub a lot to remove it. On the other hand during the day it won't move and it is completely waterproof. I am very happy with it especially when you consider the small price. But it definitely isn't for people who want a very pronounced eyelashes. Here's how it looks when it is applied (without mascara, one coat, two coats).

Eyeliner comes in packaging of 3ml and costs 339 RSD. Packaging is good and nicely closes so the eyeliner won't dry out. For an eyeliner there are two things that are equally important, brush and formula. The brush is very thin and very precise, only gripe is that on top it is square-cut and not pointed, which would greatly increase accuracy, but I still manage to do even very thin lines.

I also like the formula very much. When applied is very smooth and easily glides over the skin, but it is very pigmented so one layer can make a full black line. It also dries quickly, and when dried doesn't move all day. It is indeed waterproof and very durable, and as well as the mascara, it is very easily removed by any makeup remover.

It is time for me to write about the latest Vichy anti-age cream Liftactiv Supereme. I already wrote about it's promotion here. And then I came home tried it, and then gave it to my mom at some point, so she can try it on her older skin. I already wrote in my last post about this cream that besides the usual anti-aging care this cream also helps with day ageing of the skin, we've probably all noticed. The skin looks best in the morning and during the day it sags, the complexion looks worse and wrinkles are more pronounced.

The cream contains adenosine (blocks contraction of fibroblasts), and caffeine (draining effect), rhamnose 5% (strengthens the epidermis and dermis, increases thickness of the epidermis) and neohesperidin 2% (antioxidant, prevents the UV-induced melanogenesis). The cream also contains particles that absorb excess sebum and visually smooth the skin and also the glowing particles that give skin liveliness and fresh look. With these ingredients the cream has triple anti-aging effects - instantly, during one day and after a long time. Here's the full ingredient list:

So to move on to my impressions. The first and obvious thing is just the texture that resembles a cream that mattifies. When applied the skin is matte and looks smooth. It is quickly absorbed and doesn't crumble, so it's also a good makeup base. It has a mild and pleasant fragrance. With this cream my face becomes shiny later and looks nice and healthy. That was the first thing that I liked. Also, I noticed that my skin looks tighter and fresh throughout the day.

I gave it to my mom who has an older skin and visible wrinkles and she was also very pleased. Her face looked fresh and complexion and skin appearance were better. She said that wrinkles were visually reduced. And that happened in the beginning of the use. Of course that is in part because of the particles that smooth out the skin but in the end it is just important that the skin looks better.

Nicely moisturizes, mattifies and tightens the skin.

I really could not help myself with the title of this post. Aura Absolute Matte lipsticks are so beautiful ... as if they were made for me personally. Yes I reviled thet I'm compaltely thrilled in the first sentence. And here's why.

Lipsticks come in 13 shades, although I have to admit that there are some shades which when applied are fairly similar. The packaging is good and tight. Contains 7ml. They cost 485 RSD. Applicator is spongy and accurate. I personally do not have any problem to nicely apply lipsticks.

Lipsticks have a couple of very positive qualities. They do not dry out the lips, although they are matte they don't accentuate the dry parts of the lips or they do that only a bit (this depends on the shade). They are very durable when dry and stay on over 5 hours, they don't stay on the glass when you drink something, erase very smoothly and nicely. The feeling after applying these lipsticks is as if I applied a lip liner, but without the feeling of dryness. Sometimes I have a very mild feeling of dryness but only on the worst days when my lips and very dry by themselves.

Very easy to apply. Single layer is often quite translucent and for a stronger colour you can apply two coats. All of the shades become slightly lighter colour when dry, so that even the darkest shades are not very bright and can easily be worn during the day. In the swatches below I applied only one layer. Some colours unfortunately aren't very photogenic, especially those that are vibrant and very red. I divided all of the shades into several groups.

All shades look great on lips, even 601, which when dry doesn't look bad though it is lighter than my natural lips. Lips cannot be seen through one layer unevenly, but even a single layer looks very uniform, which I love. Now let's move on to the swatches. Shades are in the same order as in the title. All of the pictures show lipsticks in the sun and then in the shade.

- 603 is I think, again, meaty colour but with a tinge of red in it. It's not very photogenic. It is a bit more red in the photos and on the lips it looks a little more pinkish than it is in reality. This is one of my favorite shades,

- 606 has a dose of fuchsia in it so it's not completely red but more a raspberry shade,

- 604 maybe my favourite shade, very warm red that is bright and I would say that is somewhere between orange and red,

- 605 is a dark red with a cool undertone, although in the packaging it doesn't seem quite to be the case. It has a little purple in ti and therefore when applied it is a cool red. It is a bit darker than in the pictures.

Purple shades are not exactly the most photogenic in packagings. I'll try to describe them:- 610 is darker mauve shade, but not too dull, it has a dose of warmth inside,- 607 is raspberry and warm,- 608 is a very bright pink shade, even a bit pulling towards fuchsia pink,- 611 warm dark purple, even a bit meaty colour,- 612 darkest shade, dull purple and cold.

And those would be all of the shades. I was thrilled with all the shades but a couple of them are my favorites like 602, 603, 604 and 612. Have you tried any of the shades and what were your impressions? What are your favorite shades?

Less than half a year ago I decided to re-dye my hair orange. Since I already had red and orange hair I knew these colours ate the hardest to maintain. The hair can be awesome after colouring but red shades quickly rinse off and then the hair is not nearly as beautiful. This time I tried to fight that.

I decided to buy Revlonissimo 45 Day Total Color Care 2in1 Shampoo and Conditioner as well as Revlon Nutri Color Creme which is 3in1 product that restores the colour, but also gives hair softness and shine. Both products were purchased in a store with hair products in Svetogorska street. Now I will convey my impressions of both products.

This shampoo is very interesting because the product is intended for preservation of colour treated hair and mild colour reconstruction. There are 6 shades for each hair colour - for cold blonds, warm blonds, brown, black, orange, and red. I bought the one designed for orange hair. Shampoo comes in a tube of 275ml and costs 1490 RSD.

The shampoo is orange and makes a lot of foam and cleans hair well. It also does not make hair heavy and oily, and it also softens it and makes detangling easy. I really noticed it slows down the colour disappearance, but also provides mild orange shine. The effect is very small and more noticeable when hair is recently dyed. Somehow hair gets stronger orange glow. But as time goes on and the colour is washed off, the effect of colour enhancement becomes less visible. Here are the ingredients:

This is a little older and a well-known product. It looks like a hair colour, but colour is not permanent but it only serves to rebuild colour so that the hair gets a beautiful shine and colour it had when it was dyed. There are as many as 15 shades, and mine is 400 Tangerine. They come in two sizes. Smaller ones look like hair colour in a metal tube and they are currently the only ones that can be bought in Serbia, at least when I bought mine. Larger packaging looks like a ball with pump and they told me that it is not imported any more. The smaller packaging contains 100ml and costs 1245 RSD.

The cream is applied to wet hair after washing, using gloves. It should be applied with fingers and needs to stay in hair for 3 minutes and then it should be rinsed off with water. Tube is sufficient for several applications, which depends of course on the length of hair.

The effect is really very noticeable. After application my hair is really very orange, but I have to mention that the effect also depends on your hair and hair colour. For example, my roots are more orange since my natural hair is not as dark as the rest that was dyed brown before, so the effect of Nutri Color Creme is stronger at the roots than on the rest of the hair. I like to use it once between the colourings and that way I quite refresh my hair colour, which is then washed off slowly over the next couple of washings. This is indeed a very useful thing if your hair colour gets washed off and doesn't look nice that way, as is often the case.

In the end I wanted to put pictures of hair that is dyed, and after washing it with Revlonissimo shampoo, and after using Nutri Color Creme. I have to admit that it was a bit problematic to get the right hair colour in pictures. Somehow the effect is much more visible live because when you move the hair and it shines everything is more visible. The first two pictures are with hair that was just dyed. The images were made when I first dyed it over the brown hair and the effect was great. So I have to commend the Garnier Olia hair colour in shade of 7.40. After a few more colourings the colour equalized and become even brighter. See how hair looks different on the two images and that depends on the lighting only. The second picture is closer to reality.

Then, on the left is a photo after using Revlonissimo shampoo. On the right side is me after using Nutri Color Creme, but I honestly do not like the picture because in reality hair is much more orange and bright. Also, now that my hair is even lighter shade the effect of the cream is much better. But on the other hand there are a lot of pictures of before and after on the web for Nutri Color Creme and you can find much better examples of the effects of these creams.
